- Observation The studied Loranthaceae genera had base chromosome number χ= 9.
- Observation The authors propose χ= 14 as the base chromosome number of Viscum and Viscaceae.
- Observation Madagascan Visca had modal chromosome number χ= 13.
- Observation Polyploidy was rare in African and Madagascan members of both families.
